Never did infer they track your personal data (Balance), they do however track WHERE YOU GO - and then, sell that information (tracking coolies? Eh?). How on earth do you think that you get ad's that you are inclined to shop at when you are on FoxNews????? Presuming of course you are on IE and even more so Chrome (I prefer Tor, thanks). But, at least if you have AdBlockPlus (or similar) you do not see the ad's - but, they are there -and yes...you are tracked.
But, if you use (for instance) the TV's mobile ap - they want access to everything right down to your CONTACTS and LOCATION (among other items of a personal nature).
So, you are patently incorrect (with all due respect).
